1 ? TRUTH. 5
I 1 THE ISSUE IS VERY PLAIN
B Public Grasps the Fact That the Only Way to Win for Salt Lake's Pros-
perlty Is to Elect the Republican Ticket.
1 Hero Is tho number of voters the
I various parties have out of each 100
1 votes In tho city:
j Republicans 44
I Democrats 27
Kearns-" Americans" 23
Socialists G
I Total 100
Voters can see the point. It Is clear
that a party with only 27 votes out of
100 cannot win; tho party with 44
j votes out of 100 has the strong run-
ning tlckot.
This strong running ticket Is head
ed by William J. Lynch, tho Republi
can nomlneo for Mayor. That tlckot
represents nn Increased water supply
for Salt Lake, In conformity with
plans already endorsed by the people;
It represents prosperity and good ad
j ministration for tho city; It represents
peaceful and unified work for tho
growth of Salt Lako.
Mr. Morris, tho Democratic candi
date, cannot, and thoroforo will not,
bo elected.
Mr. Lynch, tho Republican candi
date, can, and doubtless will, bo elect
ed. Tho election of Mr. Lynch is tho
only means of defeating the mal
odorous Kearns aggregation.
The peoplo nro coming to under
stand tho situation in Just that way
J as it actually Is.
Hero Is tho way it looks In tho vn-
Srlous municipal wards of tho city:
In tho First municipal ward tho
proportion of votes in each 100 is:
Republicans 44
Democrats 23
Kearn8-"Amerlcans" 27
Socialists G
Total 100
This makes certain a Republican
victory in tho First, where the ma
jority of that party over tho "Amer
icans" was 9G8, and over tho Demo
crats was 11G8.
In tho Second municipal ward tho
proportion of voters in oach 100 is:
Republicans 41
Democrats 24
Kearns-"AmerIcans" 27
Socialists 8
I Total 100
ft This Is another assured Republican
p triumph, tho majority of that party in
tho Second being 871 over tho "Amer
icans" nnd 101G over tho Democrats.
In tho Third municipal ward tho
( proportion of voters in each 100 Is:
P Republicans 49
s Democrats 32
Kearns-" Americans" 12
Socialists 7
Total 100
s Thus tho Third Is safoly Republican,
tho majority of that party over the
I Democrats being GG3 and over tho
I "Americans," 14G0.
I In tho Fourth municipal ward tho
S proportion of voters In each 100 Is:
Republicans 40
E- Democrats 35
p Kearns-" Americans" 23
' I Socialists 2
f Total 100
' i Tho Fourth is closo, with chances
j favoring tho Republicans, nnd em-
j phatlcallv against tho Koarns-"AmerI-
j cans." Tho Republican majority over
j tho Democrats was 182, nnd over tho
I "Americans," 697.
In tho Fifth municipal ward tho pro-,
portion of voters In each 100 Is:
Republicans .....43
Democrats 23
Kearns-" Americans" 31
Socialists t, 3
Total 100
The Fifth thus ought to complete
tho work of thoroughly and decisively
defeating tho Kearns gang along the
whole line, tho Republican party beat
ing tho Kearns-"Amerlcans" by 429
votes nnd tho Democrats by 71G votes.
The issue is very plain. Those who
nro not ashamed of Salt Lako will
win for her peace and prosperity by
voting tho Republican ticket a week
from Tuesday next.

TRUTHS.
A number of tho so-called "Ameri
cans" are very soro over tho person
nel of their ticket, and refuse to stand
for it. Thoy say It Is rotten. LIko Og-
den Hllcs, "once a Mormon always a
Mormon," is their cry. Ez Thompson,
J. B. Moreton and Frank Swenson,
three out of the flvo on their ticket,
come under the head of onco being
Mormons. This Is tough on tho
church. It was hard enough to have
Ogden Hlles chargo Joo Rawlins up
to It.
Tho "American" committee, last
Wednesday night, decided to adopt
tho plan of leaving Mormons and
"Americans" alone and devote their
whole time trying to induce Gentile
Republicans to Join them. They were
to spread tho report that the hierarchy
was for Morris, and nsk Gentiles to
WM. J. LYNCH.
WILLIAM J. LYNCH.
Republican Candidate for Mayor.
Mr. Lynch Is one of tho best known
ind most highly respected citizens of
Salt Lako. Ho Is a man of high moral
character and blameless life. Ho has
a strong personality and cannot be
swerved from his purposo to do the
right. Ho has distinguished himself
for great executive ability, for broad
mindedness and liberality. He is a
native of Salt Lake and has three
times been honored by election to
public office and every time ran ahead
of his ticket. If elected mayor of Salt
Lako he will be mayor In reality and
won't need any deputy to Instruct him
In his duties, neither will bo swayed
or dominated by designating politi
cians. Ho can bo depended upon to
conduct the affairs of tho city In tho
interests of tho wholo peoplo and
with the utmost integrity.

The Tribune, with flash headlines,
announced tho departure of Attorney
Sam McDowall, claiming that ho Is
another victim of the hatred of the
hierarchy. McDowall claims to bo a
lawyer and because of his antagonism
to tho church has been boycotted un
til all his practice has been taken
away from him. If Sam McDowall
lnd moro than one client during all
his stay In this city, wo aro not aware
of It. Now, If tho hierarchy has any
Influence with tho Walker Bros., ono
of whom Is an "American" nnd bitter
ly anti-Mormon, it is about time tho
Tribune called tho Walker Bros. down.
Just think of these peoplo discharging
n patriot like Sam McDowall because
of tho hierarchy. We do not believe
that Sam McDowall ever had a Mor
mon client In his Hfo for tho hierarchy
to take away from him. There aro
attorneys in this city who have been
very antagonistic to tho Mormon
church nnd still they havo Mormon
clients, and nro tho most prosperous
attorneys in tho west. Wo nro willing
to wager n hat that tho so-called hie
rarchy has never seen Sam McDowall,
never heard of him or know that ho
was an attorney; and, furthermore,
that they had never heard that ho was
against tho Mormon church.
What do tho Gentiles think of such
rot as this McDowall affair? Poor old
man McDowall; wo feel for him. Wo
do not bellevo there is a Gentile at
torney in town but what is laughing
over tho idea of Sam losing his prac
tice. We beliovo Sam McDowall's
threat Is similar to the ono made by y
his friend, C. Mostyn Owen. Owen
made tho same howl some time ago,
but wo notice ho Is still here. Mc
Dowall would starve to death In any
city in tho union trying to practice
law. It looks as If Sam Is attempting
to work tho same game as C. Mostyn ,
Owen, three P's Schroeder and similar
vultures. If old Sam is net In tho field
before long lecturing against the Mor
mon church and gathering subscrip
tions from old maids nnd childless
mothers, wo miss our guess. Wo aro
willing to wager that McDowall has
ordered a largo number of Tribunes
with this nrtlclo In to uso In the fu
ture. j. ;
Councllmen Martin and Black should I
resign. Thoy aro holding their posi
tions ' ider false pretenses; In fact,
they v elected under false pro
tenses. Thoy both pretended to bo
Republicans, but'nelther of them were
Republicans then and nro not now.
